Police: How officers rescued kidnap victim in Abuja, arrested abductors

The federal capital territory (FCT) police command says its operatives have rescued one Suleiman Sabo, who was abducted in the nation’s capital.

Sabo was kidnapped last week in the Sabon Lugbe area along the airport road of the FCT.

In a statement, Josephine Adeh, FCT police spokesperson, said Sabo was rescued on Sunday morning by operatives of the Iddo divisional headquarters as part of the “continued effort to rid FCT of criminality”.

The police spokesperson said one Muhammad Abel, aged 32, from Kogi state, was apprehended with one rifle and 10 rounds of life ammunition recovered from him during the rescue operation.

Adeh said the victim, who sustained some injuries from the kidnappers, is currently receiving medical attention and would be reunited with his family once certified fit by the medical team.

The command restated its commitment to rid FCT of criminality and restore calm in the nation’s capital.
